Magazine Training International is a non-profit mission whose passion is to see lives changed as vital Christian magazines in the Developing World make an impact for Christ on their communities and nations. Our goal is to provide professional training and resources to those God has called to the ministry of Christian magazine publishing. They are courageous men and women, often working in nearly impossible circumstances, who are determined to produce quality publications that honor God and serve their readers.MTI has been active in Eastern Europe since 1989, in the countries of the former Soviet Union since 1996, and in Asia since 2000, providing consulting help and organizing some 50 conferences on every facet of magazine publishing.

"This is the first training that I received in this area, even though I have been involved in this ministry several years. It will help me to correct and adjust some things. It also confirmed that I have been doing some things right. Not everything was applicable to my situation, but it was still good for me to hear. It stretched my vision."

"I waited a long time for this course. I couldn't find one that would answer all my questions, and put everything into perspective for me. There are tons of magazine 'related' courses that take a full year and cost almost [$4,000 USD] each. So I'm really glad I enrolled in this course. I knew I had to do it. I'm very, very happy."

I'm neither a journalist nor a publisher, I'm a nurse by training. In Zambia I worked with a number of churches helping them to develop their training for their coworkers. In the process, literature became a very important aspect, and that's how our magazine was born. You can imagine how excited I was when I discovered MTI on the web! I soaked up everything I could from the courses I bought from you.
